The fitness and levels of ability are miles higher than ever before. We beat Arsenal in 94 and they were a team littered with alcoholics.

tomski Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 He kept to his pre match. Too the word.😂 Baby steps. Conceded 4 against Huddersfield. Clearly evolving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTheRave Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 They're obviously a completely different level to us but was disappointed with the goals we conceded. We had some decent moments in the game and Collins scored a nice goal. Far from a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit the back fucking post with players steaming in Do our corner takers need leg strengthening exercises? Anyway fuck it.

And free kicks where it's a cross, rather than shot. Someone else needs to take them as he clearly doesn't have the technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walkden White Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 So it was all pretty pointless even turning up? Sort of sums up football in general particularly cup competitions for lower league teams. There's got to be more to it than just earning a butty surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of the gripes on here are just how preventable a few of the goals were, not the loss. The first especially is inexplicable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a reasonable ask not to gift Arsenal at least one of their goals though. Wake up tomorrow and Arsenal isn’t making or breaking anyones season. Crawley will and my gut says the excuses will be rolled out. Let’s hope I’m wrong. Going pound for pound v Arsenal was stupid before, stupid during and stupid after. No getting round that.

I wouldn’t say pointless, it gave our squad a chance to play against a very strong Prem side. I know they could replace an international with another international but unless we’ve got an injury I think it’s worth the trip. At least there was no extra time and penalties. It does show that we are making the same mistakes over and over again. Edited September 25 by FrancisFogarty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowack Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 2 hours ago, Duck Egg said: Agreed. McAtee probably should have passed it earlier but did well in the end with the backheel. I think against teams of this calibre you need to be quick. Cross and pass quickly and don't let them get set as they are too good. We had plenty of chances to just whip it or drive it in and someone should knock it in off the arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
